Plastic fantastic challenge: design something that will make recycling easier/more fun.
The prototype:
The concept exists of 2 parts.
Part 1: The collecter.
The collecter is in fact 4 trashcans that slide togheter. Each collects it's own kind of waste. The 3 square containers collect HDPE, PU and cans. The trapezoid has 3 separate triangular sections inside. One for blue PET, one for green PET and one for transparent PET.
Part 2: The shredder.
Each container from the collecter fits in its respected hole in the shredder. when you insert the containers the bottom part of the containers open and the insides drop into the shredder. Once teh containers are inserted the shredder starts shredding.
If the collectionboxes of the shredder are full, you just need to seperate the upper and bottom have by opening the locks on the side of the shredder. A new undercarrage will be swapped with the full one and the shredder is back in action.
